INSTALLING MOWER
NOTE: Tool is available (see illustration) for ease
of measurement.
1. To level mower from side to side, measure
distance from front blade tip to ground. For left
and right blades, measurements should be
within
5 mm (1/4 in) of each other. Move
washers as necessary to raise the low corner.
To add washers, raise mower deck until wheels
clear ground by about 5 in.
2. Place wood block or floor jack under edge of
mower to hold it while wheel is removed. Drive
out split pin from lower caster wheel to remove
caster wheel shaft. Move washers to the bottom
part of caster wheel shaft as illustrated
.
Each
washer changes height by 3 mm (about 1/8 in).
3. Re-attach wheel, let mower down to rest on
wheels, and re-measure. Repeat the adjustment
until the difference between blade heights is
approximately
5 mm (1/4 in). Do not replace
split pin until after adjusting forward tilt.
4. Adjust forward tilt by measuring from front and
rear of blades to ground. The front of the blades
should be about
10 mm (3/8 in) lower than the
rear of the blades. If difference is less than
5
mm
(1/4 in) take washers from bottom of gauge
wheel shaft and move to top.
If difference in
blade tip to ground measurements is more than
15 mm (1/2 in), take washers from top of
gauge wheel shaft and move to bottom as
illustrated. Move equal numbers of washers for
both left and right sides. Replace split pins.
